Kenya/africa-which way forward

We are headed towards the end of the fist decade of the 21 st century.Africans are still lagging behind on the world economy.It seems like the African people have become synonymous with negativity since their 'independence',keeping in mind that i am speaking in general here.
Africans have been unable to compete when it comes to global trade.We are forced to submit.Poor planning has led to increase in epidemics not to mention hunger and drought,we are lagging behind in terms of technological advancement,illiteracy and ignorance,failing leadership,and now the impeding danger of global warming on the continent of which few have a clue about its consequencies.The list of issues is long and i can go on for days.
People seem to be preoccupied with negative notions like which ethnic group rules,killing each other and what not.
It makes me wonder if it has ever occurred to people that if we continue this trend we might as well call it a day on the world map.Which way do we go from here?
